acrdz (4251), Pennsylvania, USA Aug 14, 2004 Deep brown with a cream roasted oat nose. Semi-thick body, good, mild roasted oats... a decent hop bite. Volgon (2458), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Aug 11, 2004 RBSG 2004, on tap at the brewpub: Clear brown color, chocolate aroma, rich flavor, I wrote the palate was rich too, whatever the heck that means. Aubrey (2557), Denver, Colorado, USA Aug 9, 2004 Very, very dark brown. Smooth and creamy texture, albeit on the light side. Roasty and milky sweetness was really tasty. Notes of coffee with cream. Hints of toasted bread and chocolate. Flavorful. argo0 (6145), Washington DC, USA Jul 24, 2004 (RBSG04) Black body. Aroma is medium sweet, oatmeal, chocolate, some roasty. Taste is medium sweet, roasty, some chocolate. Grainy medium body. aceofhearts (1373), San Francisco, California, USA Jul 20, 2004 Opaque, small head. Nice roasty characteristics: burnt chocolate-coffee, and maybe the mouthfeel could be a LITTLE bit thicker, but this doesn’t earn any demerits. A good specimen of the style.
